Description

WO9U~ PcT1~n~1076 DESCRIPTlON

EXTRUSION MOLDING A~TICLE FROM WOOD-POLYMER R~SIN AN~ METHOO FOR PROOUCIN6 T~E SAME
Technical Field ~ he present inventlon relate~ to an art ~or produclng an extrusion molding article Or resins. In ~ore detail, the ln~entlon is characterlzed by blending wood powder and a small amount o~ a blowing agent in a res1n material ~or extrusion, ~ollowed by removing skln layers ~ormed on the suriace Or the ~o}ded article.
Background Art ~ ome building components, in which e~trusion molding articles o~ resln materials cont~intng wood powder are ~requently used, are described below as a related art.
~ xtrusion molding articles of synthetic resins have been ~requentlY used ~or highly processed building components like a door sash instead o~ wooden components made o~ natural timbers. The ~aterials ~or these extrusion molding ~rticles o~ synthetic resins are, ~or example, a hard ~inyl chloride resin with which several tens percentage o~ wood powder is blended. T~e e~trusion molding article comprising the aforementioned materials can be previously formed into a desired shape ~hile the natural timbers require several times of pl ~ning steps. Thereiore, processing steps a~ter the molding can be larsely reduced in addition to enabling the article to be cut with a sa~ or to be ~ixed with nails, which makes the construction 90 easy.
However, the new article according to the art described above yet involves se~eral problems that its speci~ic gra~ity is so large cumpared with that of timbers and its sur~ace becomes so hard by ~orming skin layers on the surface that an wood-like touch is lost. Moreover, since its compatibility wlth vinyl acetate based adheslves or paints that are commonly used ~or the wooden components is low, sdhesion or painting with the resin was di~ficult.
Therefore, the uses o~ this new article were limited.
Disclosure of Invention -Accor~nFly, the ob~ect o~ the present invention ~s to provide an art for producing sn e~trusion molding article havin~ properties more resembllng to natural ti~bers.
The deficiencies o~ the e~trusion molding article o~
resins Cont~n1nF wood -powder have been solved -by the W0~7~ - PCT/JW~1~C

present 1nvention characte~ized by ~aking the degree of foaming of the molded article low and removing the skin layers rormed on the s~r~ace oi the molded article. Foaming yields wood like properties in the article by reducing its specific gravity. Moreover, the skin layers rormed on the sur~ace becomes so thln that they can easily be removed by brn~h~ n F
(E~planation Or Claim 1) The present lnventlon according to Claim 1 provides a molded article for~ed by an e~trusion molding o~ resins, characterized in that a glazed portion that ~orms at least a glazed ~ace is composed o~ a resin materlal containing wood powder in which the resin is mi~ed wlth the wood powder: the resln conta~nlng wood powder ~eing composed o~ 20 to 40 parts o~ the wood powder having a particle size o~ 20 meshes or less and 0.5 to 4 parts of a blowlng agent in 100 parts o~ a thermoplastic resin; and the glazed face being rormed by removlng skin layers formed during the extrusion molding.
The foregoing "glazed portion" denotes a visible portlon when molded articles o~ resins formed by the extrusion molding o~ resins according to the present lnvention are brought in a circumstance where their inherent ~unctions can be exhibited.
(Explanation of Claim 2) The present invention according to Claim 2 is provided ror technically limiting the invention according to claim 1, wherein the glazed portlon ls rormed by a monolithic extrusion molding with the other portions of the resin.
When the glazed portion and the other portion are composed o~ di~erent materials with each other, both portions are rormed by a monolithic extrusion.
~ E~planation of Claim 3) The present invention according to Claim 3 is provided ror technically,limiting the invention according to Claim 1 or Claim 2, whereln the glazed portlon and the ~ther portions are composed o~ a resin material cont~ln~ng wood powder that ~or~s the glazed portion.
In this case, the Klazed portlon and the other portion are composed o~ an identical material, the whole being produced by using the material comprislng the glazed portion.
(Explanation o~ Claim 4) The present invention acc~rding to Claim 4 is characterized in that the wood powder ln the resln cont~ n 1 ng wood powder that cumprises the glazed portion is produced by grinding the crushed powder obtained by crushing a cellulose material; and by adhering surface grains having a smaller particle size and higher hardness than those of the crushed powder on the peripheral surface of the crushed powder.
The "cellulose material" described herein denotes natural woods as well as such materials including sawdust, rice straws and bagasse.
The "resin" includes hard resins, for example, such as polyvinyl chloride resin, foamed polyvinyl chloride resin, polyethylene resin, polypropylene resin, phenol resin, urethane resin, polyurethane resin, ABS resin and polystylene resin. Soft type resin may be also used depending on the molded articles required.
The "surface grains" correspond to titanium oxide, aluminum, nickel, silver, ferrites, thermoplastic resins or ceramics.
The proportion of the wood powder to be blended with the resin to the total molded article is adjusted not to exceed 30% by weight since molding processes may be interfered with a low fluidity during the molding.
"Pigments" denote colored pigments, examples of them being inorganic pigments such as iron oxide, cadmium yellow and carbon black.
(Explanation of Claim 5) The present invention according to Claim 5 provides a method for producing a molded article formed by an extrusion molding of resins comprising the steps of:
preparing a resin material containing wood powder composed of 20 to 40 parts of the wood powder having a particle size of 20 meshes or less and 0.5 to 4 parts of a blowing agent in 100 parts of a thermoplastic resin; extrusion molding a glazed portion that forms at least a glazed face by using a resin material containing wood powder; and removing the skin layers formed during the extrusion molding step.
While the extrusion molding article in which a hard vinyl chloride resin with a low degree of foaming is used as a resin contains independently dispersed air bubbles, the air bubbles in the molded article according to the present invention appear to be continuous because wood powder is blended with the resin to connect the air cells with the wood powder. Therefore, the surface of the molded article resembles that of the wooden articles both in its touch sense and visual appearance because capillary like pores are exposed on the surface of the molded article after removing skin layers. When paints or adhesives are coated on this WO 9V43792 - PCT1J~7J~10 76 surrace, the coating rilm tightly adheres on the sur~ace because a part Or the coating ~ilm penetrates deep into the pore.
Best Mode ~or Carrying Out the In~ention Blended in a ml~er are 100 parts o~ hard vinyl chloride, 30 parts o~ wood powder having a partlcle size o~
meshes or less, 1 part of a blowing agent (azodlcarboxyllc acid amide~ and each 5 parts Or a stabilizer, lubricant and reinrorcer. The mixture is heated by a conventional method and, arter coollng, is placed in an e~truder, thereby ~orming a ~olded artlcle of hard vinyl chloride resin having a desired shape wlth a low degree o~
roamlng. Skin layers rormed on the suriace Or the mo~ded article was then removed by a wire brush to obtain a rinal product.
This product has an appearance similar to natural timbers since it has a speci~ic gravity within 0.5 to 1Ø
The sur~ace Or the molded article resembles that of the wooden articles both in its touch sense and ~isual appearance because continuous capillary llke pores are exposed on the sur~ace o~ the molded article aiter removing skin layers. When paints or adhesives are coated on th1s sur~ace, the adheslve strength ~g~n~t the surface was enhanced because a~ wedge e~rect ~as e2hibited by partly penetrating the layer of the adhesive or paint deep into the pore.
The product produced as described above has a he~t eYr~n~ion coeriicient 1/2 to lJ3 times that of the conventional products. Thererore, the molded article according to the present invention ls widely applicable because peeling of~ by temperature changes is not likely to occur when the molded article is adhered on timbers or metals.
Through the ~oint parts Or the inter~or pack~ing Or the building has been liable to generate gaps by a heat e~p~n~ion when conventional resin products are used an~ a construction method similar with that o~ natural timbers were impossible, the products according to the present inve~tion enables a con~truction wlth a good ~ppearance without creating any gaps.
Industrial Applicability Accor~ingly, the present invention provides a e2trusion moldlng artic~e havlng an appearance resembling to natural tim~ers and a method rOr producing the same. -
